In the first of a series of conversations over the next few weeks, Myles Dannhausen Jr. discusses local initiatives and challenges in piecing the housing puzzle together. We also look beyond the county’s boundaries to examine approaches being used in other communities, such as Vail, Colorado and with local leaders, developers and Fisher Island, New York.

This month the Door County Community Foundation launched the Workforce Housing Lending Corporation. Bret Bicoy, the President and CEO of the Community Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss the program and what its creators hope it can accomplish to close the housing gap on the peninsula.
